Join us in conversation with Dr. Bani Tamraz as we explore the launch and what's changed since they started this work. We'll dive into the identification of genetic determinants of drug response through modern methods to address pharmacogenetics research and discuss how it can be used to translate information into new diagnostic treatment strategies at point-of-care.
